The figures seem to talk about the mainstream US military - so instead of tip toeing round why not just say what you really think?

The US military has always struck me as Republican turf, but maybe this snippet sums it up:

Quote:
"My guess is if you asked most of these folks, they'd continue to identify as Republican. But the fact there's been longstanding tension between this administration and the uniformed services and the fact that nearly all Republican candidates have not distanced themselves from the war has obviously affected their standing with those in the military," Krebs of the University of Minnesota said.
